Explanation:

In a perfectly inelastic collision, the two bodies collide each other after the collision.

A. As the frog and the lily pad stick together so it is a perfectly inelastic collision.

B. The bowling ball and the pin do not stick together so it is not an example of perfectly inelastic collision.

C. A fish swallows the another, so it is a perfectly inelastic collision.

D. Bubble gum sticks to the golf ball so it is a perfectly inelastic collision.
